school in moscow which claims it can teach anybody how to dance so i am going to put the theory to the test and apparently there are always sorts of men so hopefully this should be a place for me. the researcher good evening everyone and today we will learn the viennese waltz which you can dance at the ballroom. it was time to start learning the basics. round by myself everything seemed pretty easy but a solo waltz wasn't exactly going to cut it take the ladies right hand good teacher . the gentleman's right hand sits in the lady's left shoulder blade a little closer. to the time. capsule. the. the as i fought the urge to stare at my feet and count out loud we made a few circuits of the room with only minimal damage to obvious toast. the idea is

to get good enough to actually not look like a total idiot of the board. so. there you just heard the u.k. yeah fine. sorry that's not is how to give a traffic jam out of. our instructor demon has been teaching for the best part of twenty years and says he's never seen dancing more popular. though she was not the most because of it is important because whenever you go to any public place like a restaurant there's always room for dancing be just so you get a feeling of confidence when you know that you can invite a lady to the dance floor. raise your hand. get on with but i think that the first true taste for dancing only comes after three months of practice. but. unfortunately for me i didn't have quite that long

if i was going to make it to another daunts i was going to need some serious help to have a question there's a pool coming up and i really need a partner. would you come with. a pink or wonderful. one sect myself a great of a heart but clearly i was going to have to get myself properly prepared for culture isn't just about dancing and i was going to have to brush up on my fashion and my etiquette. most here we see the most authentic russian romanticism so this is a picnic dress for them it's accentuated with the light shawl and hat only single women were allowed to have uncovered heads but it was pushed they had highly decorated hairstyles to married women whether at the ball or at home were required to wear hats that summer they danced in the stress of balls but it would be worn

only at a local summer gatherings so summer school if we look at the male costume we see the dress code with colorful and return to the fashion scene in color courses mostly costs. james this is the costume for the middle of the nineteenth century. so no bus that's the sort of thing open with full. by this time they are wearing black coats and black trousers in comparison with very elaborate gowns for the ladies men look like exclamation points bringing attention to female beauty. and want to remind you that you could make a costume like that for me the core question of course brilliant or. excuse me for a moment well this. is how the first change to.

the courtrooms both on the one hand the boardroom is the most democratic place. almost on the whole you can invite anyone you like your board so just but if you want to invite a lady who is standing next to a gentleman you should ask his permission first. yet the ballroom is also a very patriarchal place in the past and russia work for big but there is one exception if someone stood on your partner's dress like that you were obliged to challenge him to do it only in that instance did the emperor permitted just do it. the cooperation women were able to communicate with fans menu what was being directed at them. was mostly the final why right arm to the heart without little

means i love you. other movements had other meanings this one means i have no interest when a lady does this it means she likes you. when the lady flaps her family like this that's your signal to invite her to dance and then. stand facing one another the gentleman takes a step to the right. that is gentleman embrace your partner. already. but in the off the. last. the skipper stuck or swallowed the excellence off. the rock but you have

wonderful shoes train is the best put me on that bus to boast or. ok just try it in front of the front and back and battery and the pride. that we do in a couple. it wasn't perfect but it was as good as it was going to get and the next day i headed to a room is to pick up my cost you. know what company are we have the drug from the middle of the nineteenth century but that you know this hoop skirt is made of silk taffeta there's about nine leaders here at that time flowers were very fashionable just because now i'll show you my pride and joy just because it's

a carnival gown from the sixteenth century. i'm not saying it's all sewn by hand. all silk and silk and bordered fabric such a beauty. of the ball all of this beauty was extended by the seriousness rigor and restraint in male attire. that's the kind of out that we've got for you. so this is going to make me hopefully a fresh little gent of the scene fifty's now just to see if everything fits but it seems the trend of the day was for very small clothing. new condos not the best needs to be tight even in paintings you'll see that the male figure i mean it's the females. and waste. the small shots of the kids here ladies for most weekends. but. locates james for the next week.

and like that. there we go and finally feel authentic james the dandy you soul go to the ball. sure. women of the time spent about six hours in hair question plus the head dress a has to have a high level of professionalism in order to make such a hairstyle unless they used a shine to greek statues is modeled its. style uses lots of walks and curls consumed during these hairpiece holds these hair out of fashion we have spirals at the temples we use crowd it's a very romantic style and very playful. especially in dance

when a girl down says and flips her curls it's amazing. and. it's super wonderful thank you but you know you're ready for the balls and that. we were jostling in the more of your apostle museum a building that's over two hundred years old and that's recently undergone a long restoration by descendants of its former owners and amazingly everything seemed to go off without a hitch. as

we take a little break i think now that we finally got the waltz out of the way without too many cups is that what's made you stick with it what you think you've got out here and that feeling down your meeting new people you're done in the sadness. dear music everything together all together this type of iran today you get used to it and you get addicted to it i would like to know that they think that. the house used to play host to the aristocracy of me intelligentsia it set me truth i'm in such all centered surroundings and among beautifully dressed people it's easy to lose yourself. and it's possible i may have got slightly carried away. stuff. i did most satisfaction.

follow had been satisfied and as i rode back towards the twenty first century it was finally time to read a message i've been tossed at the darts. james i'd like to invite you to join me at the first russian viennese ball in montrose switzerland it should be a mess. marable event if you'd like to attend please join me at the imperial tailoring company in moscow next monday at noon if you'll need to pick out something eloquent hope to see you there victor. there was no way i could pass up a chance like this viennese ball is renowned as the best event of the season and i knew the picture was one of the men in charge. now it might be a traditional ball but i don't think the eighteen fifty look is going to cut it in

switzerland so i'm here to meet up with victor and hopefully pick up something a little bit more. pictures hi james stuff this is yeah well now we need to choose a suit for you i've already chosen the one for me this one please ok. picture certainly had good taste it brought me to moscow's imperial tailoring company when they make some of the best clothes in the business. going to. be doing well well james in general you look really very good at i think it fits you perfectly but maybe some small items for example your trousers are longer right thing and maybe a bad fake some more buttons this was just you know but in general it's perfect and of course there's always place or something we could always do that's ok right. of

course that we're talking. to you. this is your theory you look really perfect thank you very much well i don't think that daniel craig has anything to worry about but you can't help but feel a bit special it's something like this so switzerland. because we're coming to get you. a few days around two and off thousand kilometers later i'd arrived in the small swiss municipality of montrose and it certainly didn't disappoint. when you use the room just to be very welcome to the film from on top of us so your room is ready this is a room with nicky thank you well this is a bit special isn't it a five star hotel for a five star event a comic. viennese ball has taken place in moscow under

around europe since two thousand and three is the brainchild of organizer alexander smart and i caught up with him to see why he decided to hold this one in montreal. first of all we never did a ball in the life. we decided to do it and when we were choosing the place we consulted with some. partners from through the swedes a lot so they said that. look at montreal this is beautiful small town on the lake so they came here spatially to check the place i was impressed so we decided to make both here. more than twenty thousand people have attended alexandr stances and each one is planned down to the last detail how much preparation goes into. that you know it seems. that it is very easy but it is not so definitely. to make

a real ball you have several levels but. you have to bring distress to august first at least one thing for nick one just of just seeing ghosts your family to hear about catering to dance floor in order people to disability to die. because and this is all. i could already tell it was going to be a member of the caisson and according to conduct alfred a very multicultural want to. do this evening is really very special because we have different problems to solve and we have singers from russia and we have a ballet phone russia and it will fester from it to italy and i'm from austria so it's an international event absolutely well we'll let you get back because obviously you need a script thank you very much take it away maestro thank you very much.

was. as the orchestra continued that practice i headed back to my room with just an hour to go i had to get ready but there's always time to enjoy if you like this. past. i think i can say without a shadow of a doubt the. fizz.

and i work them with lobster and white growled the menu so to say i was looking forward to dinner. taking my mouth water. time getting close. while more and more guests began the night with a glass of champagne i went to meet victor and it turned out he had a rather unexpected surprise in store. i. told him

this is sr and this is my ears thanks because as we're having one big problem we're liking the debutante at the moment i would like to feel and maybe there are never enough men out there always so many beautiful women and never enough men yes my pleasure if you would if you will have a. great. buy had planned to hang back and take part in some of the big group don't says this time and i was suddenly very nervous if this was the same years debutante ball it was more important than ever that i didn't mess up. still at least i didn't have long to think about it. it. was dozens of couples performing the figure waltz we did have a few problems with traffic but with a few well timed walls we made it to b.m.

and then we could really enjoy ourselves. for. the all of the life here you know it might seem like you never really morrissey like my. maid so maybe you. can. take. take take. take a karaoke take can cause a good thing. but it certainly leaves you out of breath and it gave me a chance to chat with samia about why she had decided to become a debutante met so many different younger people who seem to be taking to this what

is it that appeals to this as opposed to you know the traditional kind of going out on a friday night is that in a culture that you know. sauce illusion and nice and it comes from their flesh and the stuff they start to live east also very interesting here because of the last night. these are going to get a little bodies and selling stuff. as the evening wore on the old distro was replaced by a jazz band and the muse. it became a little less classical but unsurprisingly no one seemed keen to go home. i think the most revealing thing that i can say is i don't want this whole experience to end and maybe that's why people love dogs so that is just fear my physical escapism along with i can see. as you.

see i didn't expect my journey into pole culture to bring me this far but it has been a fantastic adventure i'm to my surprise i actually don't think i'll be hanging up my dancing shoes anytime soon. we might be two hundred years on from the days of war and peace and there is still pools being held both here and the broads you can imagine even the touch of a stove of light to attend. the russian dawns tradition is alive and thriving my think. is to tolstoy would have been out. of.
